  I absolutely can't believe you guys did not mention that Mr. Dee is the original 007. We have copies of his letters to Elizabeth, which he would sign with his personal seal - 2 Os, or "00" which most thought were meant to be eyes, followed by a sort of "7" - with the top part across the "00" (i.e., For Your Eyes Only, My Queen).

  Best content on the Internet hands down. Utterly incomparable levels of erudition, depth, eloquence and equal parts humour and good taste.

  I was sat in the museum of Prague where John Dee was with Edward Kelly, I went really late in the evening so I was the only one there, the lady let me sit the the famous tower where Dee would have sat over looking prague before going to the Faust house. It was amazing! X

  The early modern notion of an ordered universe whose secrets could be revealed to those who become sufficiently attuned to its harmonies still motivates scientists today.

  My father in law wrote a book about John Dee. In Welsh.

  Tom's rendition of the "Angelic" language is one of the funniest things I've heard in ages.  Bravo!

  Hello, Poland here. Olbracht Łaski (pron. 'Wuski'). Łaski's home town is today called Łask (pron. 'Wusk'), but in the 16th century was called 'Łasko'.

  Saddened by the fact that Dee & Kelly (not to mention occultism in the courts of Elizabeth & Rudolph II) only got a single episode.

  I knew mathematics was sorcery! Or at least my attempt to master it was cursed...
